Uniden EXI916 Battery Memory Effect, Cleaning the Battery Contacts, Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch

Battery Memory Effect

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory effect” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.

To Avoid Memory Effect

At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Then, charge the unit as described. Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.

Cleaning the Battery Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset and Base Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents.

Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch

Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the

TONE position.

✻ Most phone systems are Tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you are not sure whether your system is Tone or Pulse dialing.
